I could hug you for these words alone! "You didn't survive your hardest days through toxic positivity." When I'm struggling with the pressure of another tough day, the last thing I want to be told is to think positive, or it makes you stronger or there's always a silver lining. My mom's favorite is "have you been praying?" Well yes, what do you think? I don't need to be told every single time what I should do! Most of the time I just want to be left alone to deal with pressure in my own way. I'm smart enough to ask for help when I need it. It's kind of like George Carlin's response to "have a nice day!" Thank you for the thought you've put into this article & for sharing it.
